Simple thing, but are you sure you mounted the NFS share as NFSv4? I don't have access to a machine to check right now, but I think it might default to mounting NFSv3, even if both sides support v4.

To add on to this answer (which is correct):

Your "of" can also just be a regular file if that's easier to work with vs needing to create a new partition for the copy.

I'll also say you might want to use the block size parameter "bs=" on "dd" to speed things up, especially if you are using fast storage. Using "dd" with "bs=1G" will speed things up tremendously if you have at least >1GB of RAM.

I dunno man, I think that the fact she teaches high school kids specifically, who by now all know about it, means that she has no hope of being an effective teacher at this point. It's a massive distraction, as unfair as that is.

She had to have known this was a possibility when she decided to start an onlyfans - there's almost nowhere in the country where you won't get fired as a teacher for that, progressive or conservative states alike. Society just isn't there yet.

I ran into this exact situation at work - though for me it was more the case that getting approvals for new software / installing new dependencies in our system is a massive pain.

So I went with Python since it's already installed on basically any Linux system. It was fine - I mean Python is a good language and can certainly handle string processing and data manipulation with relative ease.

I still think the Python docs are pretty bad, and I wasn't thrilled with the options for calling a subprocess in Python - they all felt kinda clunky, though I was barred from using the newest versions since I had to run an older version of Python.

But I ultimately got something that worked and it was certainly better executed / shorter than the bash equivalent it was replacing.

I had a bunch of friends up and was gifted Cosmic Encounter.

I had seen it played on YouTube, but this was the first time I got to play it myself. We had a great time! The game can feel a little bit overwhelming at first with all it's stages and card-decks, but once you get past it it's a really good time.

If you've never played it, the super short version is that you are trying to get colonies on other players planets by drawing cards against each other. But what makes it fun is that every player also gets to draw an (initially secret) civilization/character card, which typically has abilities that completely turn the game on its head. We had lots of hilarious moments stemming from the character reveals. I would definitely recommend checking it out!

I also got to play Radlands with my S/O. Not at all the kind of game either of us have really played before, but we had a blast. It's a card-dueling game, and all the cards feel very powerful with some cool synergies. It's pretty simple to teach, especially if you use table-top sim or spring for the edition that comes with play-mats.

But on the other hand, if loans were subject to bankruptcy, most poor people would never be approved to get them.

Under this broad of a ruleset, all software would have to be open source.

Not an expert myself, but I think chips that truly sip power not only have a much lower floor but take even more aggressive actions to reduce power when idle.

Certainly with the right software tuning you could aggressively throttle the CPU to save power - I'm just not sure how much power it would actually save.

I did find this really good article on reducing the Raspberry Pi Zero 2W power consumption: https://www.cnx-software.com/2021/12/09/raspberry-pi-zero-2-w-power-consumption/

I saw this complaint in another post online (paraphrased):

The screen and use of a Pi seem at odds with each other. The screen is ultra-low power, but there are of course huge drawbacks for usability. Meanwhile the CPU is very powerful, but chews through, comparatively, a lot of power quickly.

They argued that it would be better to either pair the Pi with a better screen for a more powerful/usable handheld, or go all in on longevity and use some kind of low-power chip to pair with the screen for a terminal that could last for days.

... I've got to say, it's a fair point. A low power hand-held that could run Linux and run for days would be pretty cool, even if it was underpowered compared to a Pi. No idea what you could use for such a thing though.

The PR for the necessary back-end changes is out for review on GitHub: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3869

Maybe I'm completely misremembering things, but at some point wasn't there a hotfix to Lemmy that hard-limited how many comments a thread could have? Does anyone know if there's a maximum and if so how many?

Just wondering, cause uh, I could see this one having a lot of comments.
